SS-31, also known as Elamipretide, is a mitochondria-targeting tetrapeptide belonging to the Szeto-Schiller peptide family. It is characterized by its ability to selectively concentrate in the inner mitochondrial membrane, where it has been studied for its interactions with cardiolipin — a phospholipid critical to mitochondrial membrane integrity and electron transport chain function. Published research has examined SS-31 in cell culture and animal models for its role in reducing mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS), supporting ATP synthesis efficiency, and its observed cytoprotective effects in models of oxidative stress and ischemic injury. SS-31 represents a significant area of interest in mitochondrial biology research. This product is supplied as lyophilized powder for laboratory reconstitution by qualified researchers.
